Who We Are Supporting

The Center for Child Protection is the only nonprofit in Travis County involved in the investigation of crimes against children. All services are provided completely FREE in English and Spanish.

Our vision is to end the cycle of child abuse through advocacy, education, and community support. A forensic interview is the first step for children in the intervention process. The Center offers a wide-range of unique therapy experiences. Free prevention training is available to the Austin community.

A Critical Moment

By becoming a donor, your support will make an immediate impact on the most vulnerable children in Travis County.

When a child is brave enough to come forward, they need immediate help, not a waitlist. The Center's operations need community support to ensure every child receives the critical services they need without delay.

This is where we step in.

ATX15's Committment

We the powerful, loving, courageous leaders of ATX15, are committed to creating connection, love, and joy in ourselves, our communities, and our world.

This Project is a direct expression of that vision, and an act of standing with the most vulnerable among us.

Our Commitment

ATX15 has committed to raising $100,000 by December 12, 2025 to support the Center's operational stability, program strength, and physical environment, ensuring no child waits for the help they need.

Where Your Support Goes

Your donation directly strengthens Austin's safety net for children in crisis. Your gift provides critical stability by supporting:

Trauma-Informed Staff & Essential Program Operations

These are the experts who meet families during their hardest moments, therapists, advocates, forensic interviewers, and support staff who provide safety, guidance, and healing. They are the faces children trust and the voices families rely on. Your contribution helps preserve the continuity of care that is essential to recovery.

Facility Upkeep & Healing-Centered Spaces

When a child has experienced harm, environment matters. Your donation helps maintain dignified, welcoming, child-friendly spaces where families feel safe and respected, and where healing can begin.

Increased Access to Services

Your support helps reduce wait times and ensures that more families can receive help without delay. It empowers staff to focus on serving children rather than scrambling for resources.
